>What kind of special support do you think is needed for OpenSolaris ?
This is a list of some lacks of functionality:
- C/C++ project of all OS sources requires at least 1.3Gb of heap memory. It 
exceeds a standard NB memory requirements.
- Standard NB tree and list cannot show a long list (OS contains at least 150K 
global functions) at reasonable time. As result class view and completion works 
too slow. For example: preparing code completion list takes a couple seconds, 
visualization takes about 30 seconds.
- difficulties with NB project creation. Existing wizard relies on dwarf 
information in objects/executable/libraries files. OS makefile does not use 
dwarf (convert or strip it). As result user  should setup C/C++ code assistance 
by hand. It is an annoying procedure.

I would like to know typical use case of using NB 6.0 for Open Solaris 
development.
Some problems can be resolved if community will support "pre-configured NB 
projects".
For example:
1. User develops (leans/browses sources) a OS core (UTS). User do not need 
project for all OS sources.User downloads NB project for UTS and has a fully 
configured C/C++ code assistance in IDE. NB project for for UTS requires 700Mb 
heap memory and really can be used for development/learning in NB 6.0.
As enhancement of this use case: user develops own driver in IDE. He/she add 
dependent project UTS and has all code assistance features.
2. User develops (leans/browses sources) a command of OS. User downloads a 
commands and libraries NB projects. Open required command project and add 
dependent libraries and enjoy a lives C/C++ code assistance.
